Artist's Comments


From my AP art concentration, Superstitions.

There were so many different takes on this superstition when I researched to find out more about it. This is the one that I thought was particularly interesting, so that's what I tried to illustrate here:
"First, not any foot from a rabbit will do: it is the left hind foot of a rabbit that is useful as a charm.
Second, not any left hind foot of a rabbit will do; the rabbit must have been shot or otherwise captured in a cemetery.
Third, at least according to some sources, not any left hind foot of a rabbit shot in a cemetery will do: the phase of the moon is also important. Some authorities say that the rabbit must be taken in the full moon, while others hold instead that the rabbit must be taken in the new moon. Some sources say instead that the rabbit must be taken on a Friday, or a rainy Friday, or Friday the 13th. Some sources say that the rabbit should be shot with a silver bullet, while others say that the foot must be cut off while the rabbit is still alive." ~Wikipedia lolll

I actually have a rabbit's foot from when I was really little and didn't realize that, even though it's purple that doesn't mean it isn't from a real rabbit. I really regretted getting it at that point. xD

The one thing I really don't like about this is the guy's anatomy. I dunno what is up with his shoulders but UGHHHH fkjff


One more left to submit, which was a replacement for my first one (the ladder picture which I began to really hate) :C

Ooo, yay! I got excited when I saw this in my messages. I love the ribbed cardboard effect and the creepiness of it.

Oh, and I'm excited about more art from you and all, but...I love the ladder picture :)

DON'T WORRY ABOUT THE ANATOMY, it looks great. <333 Plus, you'll feel LOTS better after I submit my project for my art class. It's full of bad anatomy. (:
okayokay, this is fucking gorgeous, as always.
I especially love how the torn part of the board makes it look like cemetary gates. <333
